Andrew P. Barbour is a Gastroenterologist based at 199 Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba, QLD 4102, Australia. He looks after people with gut and digestion conditions, especially when tests and planned treatment are needed. Day to day, that often means dealing with problems that can affect the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, and how food moves through the body.
Andrew’s work includes endoscopy, which is a key tool for checking inside the digestive tract. In many cases, this helps explain symptoms like ongoing heartburn, trouble swallowing, or ongoing stomach issues. It can also be used when doctors are looking for changes that need closer follow up, such as Barrett’s oesophagus.
Some patients he supports have more serious conditions too. This can include cancers of the oesophagus and the pancreas, and there are times when treatment plans may also involve surgery. Based on the services listed, his care pathway can include procedures such as gastrectomy and pancreatic surgery, including operations for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other pancreatic tumour types. At times, treatment plans may also involve lymph node surgery, and other digestive procedures like gastric bypass or related operations.
Over time, Andrew’s approach is usually practical and calm. Gastro symptoms can be stressful, and results from tests can take time to sink in. He helps patients understand what the next steps are, what a scan or scope is checking for, and what treatment might look like afterwards.
He also works in areas where careful planning matters, like managing conditions linked to long-term reflux and changes in the oesophagus. In some cases, ongoing monitoring is part of the plan. In others, the focus shifts to treatment and recovery, depending on what the tests show.
Andrew has the kind of training you’d expect of a doctor who works in gastroenterology, with skills built around digestive investigations and treatment planning. He is based in Woolloongabba and works with local patients who come from the wider Brisbane area, often looking for clear answers and steady support while they navigate diagnosis, investigations, and treatment.
